"Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need,
but not every man's greed."

She'll get it right.
We certainly haven't.
Nothing wrong with wanting things, just wanting things ignorantly. Ignorant wanting believes things are 'out there', and that we must 'take them, pursue them, grab them' to order to make them our own.
Enlightened view understands the inviolable laws of karma: that we can't 'get' anything we haven't already given to someone else. So, whatever you want, make sure someone else gets it first. And that applies to every object in your world: homes, love, respect, money, romance, peace, etc.
Things really get cooking when we decide we want 'things' in order to better help remove the suffering/problems of others, not just ourselves...
Seeing emptiness directly is the highest object of desire.
Once we have accomplished that, we really have something to give others.
Give away the very thing you want the most.
Understand how your world works.
Then all is coming.
Love,
Kelly
